Star Luo Empire Imperial Palace.
Dai Tianling sat alone in his study, clearly feeling somewhat withdrawn.
Among the civil and military officials, there were already some discordant voices.
Some were already questioning why they hadn't simply dealt with Qilin Douluo Tong Yu in the first place.
If they weren't going to kill Tong Yu, why not cut the weeds and dig up the roots?
If they had just killed Tang Ziran and his family back then, there wouldn't be any trouble now.
Instead of the current situation, letting Tang Ziran's son Tang Wulin return to the empire with a weapon of mass destruction capable of overturning it.
Nowadays, a monarch is no longer an absolute ruler.
The voices from below are equally important.
If he were truly too incompetent, he could even be impeached.
Such a thing would certainly not happen, but the impact of this incident was indeed too severe.
Not only did Mu Han force the Star Luo Empire to bow its head in public, but as a native of the Federation, he actually received support from the populace on this matter?
Beyond that, there was the Tang Sect.
Between the Federation and Star Luo, the Tang Sect supports Star Luo.
But in this matter, the Tang Sect had no way to support Star Luo.
Because Star Luo was in the wrong from the start.
Even if Mu Han was just making a mountain out of a molehill, he was at least nominally standing up for a friend.
And that friend, Tang Wulin, is a disciple of the Tang Sect.
Dai Tianling did not blame the Tang Sect, because it would be meaningless.
For the royal family, the support of the Tang Sect is too important.
He dared not blame the Tang Sect at all.
But what should be done next?
How could he turn the situation around?
He had considered having Dai Yun'er seduce Mu Han, making Mu Han the prince consort of the Star Luo Empire.
As it turned out, Mu Han went missing after the tournament ended.
And Dai Yun'er and that Wu Sidu were getting along very well. It is said they even developed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
If Wu Sidu were a man, he would definitely have made Wu Sidu the prince consort.
He could even let Dai Yun'er become the empress and make Wu Sidu the only man by her side.
What's more, Wu Sidu's martial soul is the Hell White Tiger.
Her ancestors must have had the bloodline of the Dai family.
But Wu Sidu is a girl, and furthermore, she is Mu Han's woman!
If he kept Wu Sidu in Star Luo, there was no guarantee Mu Han wouldn't strike again.
Even Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci had been crushed to death by that big truck of his.
Does Star Luo really have anyone left who can contend with him?
Before, he was only nominally avenging a friend.
What if he stole his woman?
He could just say, "The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable; I no longer care to distinguish right from wrong."
Then Star Luo would be turned upside down!
At this moment, Mu Han was in the Dragon Valley Small World.
He felt as if he had transformed into a great mountain, the towering peak connected to the earth, and countless energies flowed into his body from all directions.
The bones of his torso, including his spine, sternum, and ribs, were all covered in a layer of brilliant luster.
It was as if he were wearing a suit of diamond armor.
An indescribable sense of solidity filled him with power.
Aside from the External Soul Bone, the most precious are the head soul bone and the torso soul bone.
This is because a head soul bone can strengthen spiritual power regardless of the species.
However, one originating from a spiritual-attribute soul beast is naturally the best.
For instance, Mu Han's Evil Eye Tyrant head soul bone.
Regardless of the species, a torso soul bone can always enhance one's physical constitution.
As the existence with the strongest defensive power among the descendants of the Dragon God, the torso bone of the Mountain Dragon King is undoubtedly a top-tier treasure.
Moreover, what was the Mountain Dragon King? It was an existence that transformed its body into a continent to conquer the seas for the Dragon race!
Mu Han originally possessed a virtual ice-attribute torso soul bone in his torso region.
This was an effect brought about by his soul bone set.
Consequently, that virtual torso soul bone merged into one with the Mountain Dragon King torso soul bone.
The Mountain Dragon King torso soul bone also formed a brand-new set with the other seven soul bones.
The Soul Core itself swelled to double its size, and dense soul power flowed upward, connecting to the Sea of Consciousness like a waterfall rushing against the current.
It was as if another Soul Core had appeared within the Sea of Consciousness, much smaller than the one at the dantian, yet capable of communicating with it.
A second Soul Core is practically the hallmark of a Super Douluo!
It is also the mandatory path for charging toward the Limit Douluo realm.
In other words, Mu Han's soul power had successfully broken through to level ninety.
Mu Han had long since formed an idea for his ninth soul ring: the Heart of the Ice God.
While the Heart of the Ice God is certainly excellent, and even more so after fusing with the bloodline of the Ice God, what could it possibly amount to when compared to the Heart of the Ice God?
Mu Han used the Heart of the Ice God to absorb the remnant soul of the Dragon God.
He then fused the Heart of the Dragon God through the Heart of the Ice God, which had already absorbed the Dragon God's remnant soul.
Simultaneously, two diamond-shaped crystals—one gold and one silver—appeared at the previous location of the Dragon God's remnant soul.
Ripples of seven-colored halos radiated around the two.
Then, they were enveloped by a piece of gold-threaded, blue-bottomed metal.
Mu Han intended to use these two divine cores as the eighth and ninth soul rings for his first martial soul!
The Soul Core within his body suddenly roared, and a massive vortex emerged in the Sea of Consciousness, causing the Soul Core that had already begun to condense to fully take shape, completing a perfect three-in-one cycle with the Soul Core in his dantian and the Heart of the Ice God in his chest.
Mu Han's own aura began to soar at a geometric rate.
At the same time, Mu Han's two martial souls began their secondary awakening.
His first martial soul, Gold-Water Mutual Containment, underwent a secondary awakening to become the Mechanical Dragon God.
His second martial soul, the Heart of the Ice God, underwent a secondary awakening to become the Heart of the Ice God.
There exists a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill between the two, though it has yet to be developed.
As of now, Mu Han is only a quasi-demigod, having just broken through to the Limit Douluo realm.
Once he completes his transformation and stabilizes, he will be able to gradually step into the ranks of the demigods.
In reality, the vast majority of Limit Douluos are at this level.
The Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci is a demigod.
However, there are some heaven-gifted prodigies who, through constant effort and insights into the Great Dao, make further breakthroughs to reach the quasi-god level.
The Heaven-Propping Douluo Yun Ming, the Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, and the Battle Heaven Douluo Qiangu Dieting are all at this level.
And Mu Han has a feeling.
Once he reaches the quasi-god level, his two martial souls will be able to unleash their Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Conversely, if he masters the Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he could directly break through to the quasi-god level.
This is a classic "chicken or the egg" dilemma.
But regardless of which comes first, Mu Han's goal for the next stage is already set.
That is to research the fusion skill between his two martial souls!
However, the most pressing matter is to complete his transformation and break through to the demigod level as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Mu Han glanced at his surroundings.
So many true dragon soul bones!
After the Heart of the Ice God underwent its secondary awakening to become the Heart of the Ice God, Mu Han's soul bones also transformed from the Ice God set into the Dragon God set.
So, aren't these true dragon soul bones the best nourishment for him?
"I do this for the resurrection of the Dragon God; forgive me," Mu Han muttered to himself with shameless audacity, taking a deep breath.
